removing Emmissions stuff on 95 "race car"

[scca_stang]

alright guys...

I do not want to completely hyjack the other guys thread so I am creating My own... plus this will give some of the guys a better search ability for 94-85 SN95 style as opposed to the Fox platform.

For all of the Legal Eagles out there... This modification is only for Off road Applications.

Here is where I am...


I have removed the Smog Pump and simplified the belt routing using this picture as a diagram, a 80.5" 6 rib belt and a smaller idler pulley on top, I simply went to AutoZone and picked up a second "tensioner pulley" and put it in place of the idler.

I then remove the tube coming from the H pipe and removed the tube from the header to the EGR. I was going to remove the crossover tube, but I do not want to pull the motor just for that purpose, so I am only going to block it off for now.

I need to know if I can remove this stuff without causing CEL lights?

I just completed the install of the BBK cold air intake... and removal of smog pump and all associated vacuum lines/EGR tubes and blocked off my EGR valve with a homemade block off plate made from a mountain dew can... I then re-installed the EGR valve and simply plugged it back into the harness to trick the computer.

and the best part is... NO Check Engine light!!!

The trick I used was plugged in the EGR plug but put a billet block off plate on the opening and compressed the cylinder of the EGR half way which tricks the computer also. I bought a cap for the long tube header because it had a EGR bung and also plugged the back of the cylinder head. 1995 and earlier cars are emmision exempt so your in the clear! Its the 96 and up where they can plug into the computer or you can always insure your car as a "show/race" car and you get a letter of exemption from your insurance company stating the type of coverage and you never get tested..

where did you get the cap for the header bung... I just made mine from the stock fitting and a penny... no long term testing, but it seems to work for now.

Be careful with that damn penny! I did the same thing & the penny exploded into my hood! When I unscrewed the header bolt the ring from the penny was still there. I went to home depot & got two pipe caps. Worked good so far.

but the pipe caps at home depot are the wrong thread.

Yeah, I kinda noticed that. I got some cheap ass mac headers that I could care less about, so I just took an impact gun to it. No problems in over a year. I had no problem on the EGR side.

I brought my header (embarrassing) into home depot and they had a pipe thread that fit the BBK long tube bung in the header without issue. It was a cap not an open end. I used loctite and hammered that sucker on..
